A bike for John whose bike was damaged in an accident

Posted Sep 19, 2024
In June, John's life took a tragic turn when he was involved in a devastating bike accident that left his beloved bike in ruins. This wasn't just any bike; it was his lifeline, a source of freedom that allowed him to explore the world around him, compete in sports, and connect with friends. Ever since the accident, John has felt an overwhelming sense of loss and isolation. Imagine being a teenager relying on two wheels for everything—from feeling the wind rush through your hair on the way to school to making spontaneous plans with friends. The absence of his bike has stripped him of that independence and joy. Getting a new bike would not only restore that vital connection to his social life, but it would also ease the burden on his family, who have been stretched thin trying to manage transportation. A new bike would mean the world to John, reviving his spirit and giving him back the freedom he once had.

John is 14 years old and lives in FL

John enjoys riding bikes, playing soccer, and other sports with his friends. He is liked by many friends but sometimes struggles to engage fully with his peers. John has struggled with significant mental health challenges but he has made great strides with support from his family and professionals.
